During last year, many events happened that were significant and some that weren't. Last year during our visit to the CNE, my family and I met a cousin that I never knew before, which made me think that there are many people related to me that I have never seen in my life. Secondly, I got my driver's licence, which allowed me to sit in the driver's seat and allowed me to see things in a different perspective. But the most important thing that I think changed me the most was the blackout that occurred in the summer. .
The day in which the blackout occurred was just like any other day, some people were watching television, my brother was using the computer, and as for me, I was either playing video games, or doing nothing. I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, when I finished, I decided to go watch my brother play his games. The moment I opened the door, I noticed that my aunt turned off the television, and when I got down to the basement where my brother was, and my brother told me that the power was out. When the power's out, there's not much to do, so my brother and I continued with the puzzle that we had started. Later, my uncle arrived home and told us that the power was also out in some parts of the United States. When I heard that, I got a little worried and wondered when the power will come back on.
During the power outage, instead of using the stove, we used small gas stoves to cook dinner, we didn't eat a very large dinner, just noodles because it's convenient and it'll conserve the gas, because we don't know how long the blackout would last. Later, my friends came over and we played basketball and talked. That night, instead of watching television like we usually do, we listened to the radio trying to find out how long will it take to get the power back on and what caused it. Luckily, I got my mp3 player, which allowed me to listen to music so I wouldn't be that bored.
